ERA under 3, better than 1K/IP and holding hitters to a .230
average with two promotions in his rookie year doesn't satisfy
you?

The numbers are good but not indicative of the dominance one
might expect from a "super" prospect. Barely better than a K/IP
for someone with his arm and half of his innings in pitcher
friendly A-Ball? Fifty-four hits in 59 innings at AA? Meh.
I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if I were a Pirates fan but
I wouldn't be overly excited either.

Clint Frazier went 1-2 on Tuesday, and according to BA's Nathan
Rode intentional walks are creeping into more and more of his
plate appearances.

Jim Callis chat:

up-and-coming Jon Gray, or is that too lofty?

top-10 draft pick right now, but Cole showed a better and deeper
repertoire over a longer period of time. That said, the
comparison isn't crazy, which says a lot about Gray.

I'd also take Austin Meadows or Clint Frazier over Bryant.

Two doubles and a homer for Austin Meadows Tuesday.

I'm no draft expert but it feels like the top of this current
class is going to be pretty strong. It seems like there's more
depth at the upper echelon than there's been in years past. Am I
crazy for thinking that?

Actually, the top level is quite poor this year. It seems as
though it's strong because there's not much to distinguish
between the top 7 or so. That gives the impression of
"strength". In all likelihood, we're looking at future platoon
players and setup relievers.

Anyone care to respond with something other than a Jeffism?

I think that the general consensus is that this draft isn't
considered deep.

A top heavy draft. Top seven or so look really good. Then a drop
off. So, Cubs are in a good spot.
